My dear Dr. Holland:-

I sent financial statement yesterday but as I had an opportunity to send letters and did not get time to write.

We are working now on No. 333 and clearing out the area beyond. This skeleton offers no disappointment as yet, but to us seems to grow better. It appears to be the finest skeleton ever found from rocks of this age. Would make a most beautiful slab mount. We have seen nearly all the skeleton now. Nothing out of place in forelimbs except the left scapula. Right scapula probably in natural position or nearly so. One hind limb articulated throughout and the other present. We are not just sure we have seen the left femur as some bones are not uncovered enough to distinguish them. Havent traced whip of tail and don't intend to do so, as it will come out in one of the blocks.

I have just received Lull's the Sauropod Dinosaur Barosaurus. I would not be at all surprised if No. 310 -- the specimen with the long neck, of which I have written you many times -- turned out to be Barosaurus. It looks much like it so far as I have seen our specimen. There is the same proportional difference between the lengths of the cervicals and dorsals. He must have been a strangely disproportioned brute
